This species is not recorded as found elsewhere than on the north- 

 west coast of America, from California northward to Russian America, 

 Richardson obtained a single specimen on Great Bear Lake, described 

 as Orpheus meruloides ; and Mr. Kennicott found another in the 

 Rocky Mts., on Porcupine River (No. 27,221, August 28, 1861, col- 

 lector's number 1,612). 



It is proper to state that the specimen collected by Mr. Kennicott 

 (of which only the head and wing were preserved) exhibits a decided 

 notch in the bill. Nothing approximating to this character, how- 

 ever, could be discerned in over fifty other specimens examined ; in 

 all of which, if any indication of notch existed, it was of the most 

 obsolete character, and was, in most instances, not to be found at all.
